<p>I've been looking for schools in the NE/PA/MD area that have majors in Biochem, but I've only really fell in love with Boston College (Brown came second....but I doubt I'll get in there anyway!). A lot of colleges offer a Molecular Biology major, which sounds pretty cool too, but I'd prefer Biochem. I've already looked at random colleges' majors lists, but if anyone knows of a place in NE/PA/MD that offers Biochem and is similar to Boston College (in terms of size, difficulty to get into, etc...), please let me know!</p>
<p>If anyone wants to know my grades/EC/etc., they're in this thread: <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=173453%5B/url%5D">http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=173453</a></p>
<p>Thanks!!</p>
<p>From my, limited, understanding of the subject, molecular biology and biochemistry are extremely similar. Both focus on the chemical interactions of particles that play roles in organisms. </p>
<p>This is to the point that in some course catalogs, the two are listed together.</p>
<p>I know that they are similar, but their descriptions according to collegeboard.com are different enough to make me prefer biochem. </p>
<p>Bump!</p>
<p>You might try Muhlenberg College. They have an excellent science department with biochemistry.</p>
<p>[url=<a href="http://www.bucknell.edu/biochemistry/%5Dbucknell%5B/url">http://www.bucknell.edu/biochemistry/]bucknell[/url</a>] supposedly has a very good program, though obviously its a bit different than boston college in terms of size and location.</p>
<p>Lafayette College has pretty good programs in the sciences, as does Lehigh University.</p>
